According to a new market report
published by Transparency Market Research “Industrial Controls and Robotics Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size,
Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2013 – 2019,” the global industrial
controls and robotics market was worth USD 102.02 billion in 2012 and is
expected to reach USD 147.7 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2013
to 2019. Americas i.e. (North America and South America) was the largest market
for industrial controls and robotics in 2012 due to re-engineering in the old industrial segment along with
the adoption of new technologies and increasing demand for mass production.

The market
is driven by its growing use in application areas of discrete and process
industries i.e. automotive, power, pharmaceutical, and semiconductors
industries. Also, increased productivity of manufacturing companies, growing
demand for customized products, and need for improved efficiency and precision
are the factors encouraging deployment of these systems in the industries.

High
initial investment, availability of low cost labors in emerging countries such as
India, China, Indonesia, and need for skilled labors to operate the robots are
some of the factors inhibiting growth of industrial controls and robotics
market.

By product
type, market has been segmented into – industrial control systems, field
devices, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). Industrial control segment
accounted for about half of the market share followed by field devices in 2012.
Industrial control system is expected to maintain its leading position
throughout the forecast period. Requirements for accurate precision and proper
functioning of installed plants are the main factors flourishing growth of industrial
control systems. Among all types of control systems, MES
is expected to show fastest growth during the period of forecast. The demand
for MES across end use industries is expected to grow owing to improved yield. Improvement
in supply chain and inventory management also attracts most of the users to
implement MES.

By end user industry, market is segmented into power, textiles,
automotives, chemicals, printing and packaging, plastics, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals,
food processing, semiconductors, OEMs of aforementioned industries and others. Automotive industry held largest
market share in 2012 and is expected to maintain its leading position
throughout the forecast period owing to increasing demand for productivity.
Pharmaceuticals industry is expected to show strong growth during the period of
forecast as industrial automation help increase efficiency and reduce time of
various operations such as compounding, washing, labeling, packaging and
filling.

Geographically, Americas held largest share in
industrial controls and robotics market in 2012 attributed to re-engineering in the old industrial segment with
adoption of new technologies in North America and heavy exporting of goods from
South America. RoW is
expected to show fastest growth during the period of forecast because of the
growing demand for industrial robots and control systems in oil and gas
industries in this region. Asia
Pacific is also expected to witness robust growth during the forecast period fueled
by heavy investment in power industry in this region.

Siemens
AG and ABB Ltd. were leading providers of industrial control systems in 2012
and together held 26.2% of the entire Industrial control systems market. On the
other hand Yaskawa and Fanuc Corporation were the major manufacturers of
industrial robots and together held 44% share of the overall industrial
robotics market. Other major players in the market include Yokogawa
Corporation, KUKA Robotics, Emerson Electric Corporation, Rockwell Automation,
Omron Corporation, Schneider Electric SA, and others. The
industrial controls and robotics market has been segmented as follows:
